[NSRCA-discussion] List message size raised, etiquette reminder

[Tom Simes]

Hello everyone,

First, I would like to thank everyone who has been contributing their 
thoughtful and insightful analysis to the recent discussions (on all 
sides).  There have been a few pot shots, but overall I really applaud 
the quality of the discussion.

List message limit has been raised to 200Kb.  Some time ago, the 
communal agreement was to limit message size to 100K so as not to clog 
e-mail for those users still on slower links.  The recent rules and 
future of pattern discussions have included some longer posts which I've 
had to manually approve due to being over 100K.  So as not to delay 
these posts, I've bumped the limit to 200K.  Please continue to trim 
posts as you quote though, it makes reading easier - and therefore more 
people are likely to read your comments ;)

Obligatory list etiquette reminder - while I have your attention it's 
probably a good time to throw this out there again:

I am the current NSRCA list administrator and the rules I run the
list by are simple:

1. I own the mailing list server, but it is administered at the
direction of the NSRCA leadership.

2. The occasional teasing, banter, reasoned debate and "flame wars" are
part of the exchange, but personal attacks are not appropriate and will
not be tolerated.

As far as I am concerned, the only valid reasons to take administrative
action against a list user are continued and deliberate abuse of the
service, the server or other list members.

Thank you,

Tom
